Book review: On 23. December there was a fine book review in Morgunblaðið newspaper for Skrímsli í vanda – Monsters in trouble. Critic Silja Björk Huldudóttir decorated the review with four stars and wrote:

“As before, the story is carried on by Áslaug’s colorful, clear-cut style and expressive illustrations, and some of the most important things are not written out plainly, which is clever.
…
There is no doubt that many share the two monster’s need to do good and find, like the monsters, that if everyone pulls their weight, nothing is unachievable. Guided by sympathy and solidarity, the world becomes a better place and that is an important message for young readers.”
